** What's with the necklaces?
Rex is a whiskey mooch. His necklace is a manifestation of pure glory - forged from the irradiated bones of eagles and wolves. Also a tube sock.
See the origin story here: goo.gl/JMc2Hr
Daniel is a whiskey sommelier. His necklace is a token of his sommelier level, and he trains whiskey sommeliers at The Whisk(e)y Marketing School in Austin Texas.
**A Whisk(e)y school?
Yup. Here are a few things we believe.
** You don’t have to be a snob to appreciate and love great whiskey.
Whisky and Whiskey (it depends on where it’s from) have been an important part of cultures around the world from time immemorial. Whiskey is a part of the very fabric of Western society, and in most places, is as common and accessible as beer.
Like Jazz and wine, snobs have predictably hijacked whiskey appreciation, spoiling our natural, common connection with it and creating a false dichotomy of “good whiskey” and “bad whiskey.”
It’s time to break through the emotional bias with facts and science. That’s what this school is about.
** The only valid definition of “good” whiskey is “whiskey you like to drink.”
Learning how to share your love of whiskey in a way that connects people to the history and the story has more to do with public speaking and storytelling than it does with facts and tests.
The best way to learn about whiskey and share that love is to drink whiskey and talk about it with friends. Study the history, find the stories, and discover the culture and the methods that have been developed over hundreds of years. That’s what you’ll do when you attend The Whisk(e)y Marketing School.
** You don’t need a marketing degree to learn how to share your love of whiskey with the world.
There's an old saying, "In business, it's not what you know... It's who you know."
Regardless the industry you're in, most people are clumsy and ineffective when it comes to "networking" because they ignore a very important rule - Relationship First, Business Second.
There's a tremendous amount of curiosity about Whisk(e)y today. It's a great excuse for you to gather a group of people who want to have fun and learn something new. The Whisk(e)y School teaches you how to tap into that curiosity, and share your love of whisk(e)y in an unpretentious way. You're demonstrating knowledge, expertise, and an engaging personality - things valued by every gatekeeper, in every industry.
Or would you rather hand out business cards and cross your fingers?

Anybody else have a minor heart attack when Daniel was removing the wax cover and the bottle tipped over?
Yep was just about to say that, it was a close call.
Ah don't worry, he's a professional. *smash* Ahhhh.
yep i nearly shat my pants
It was super close. I was pretty sure it was done for.
I came here searching for this comment only 😂😂
Very classy joining in the toast to fallen brothers. Thank you guys. I'm sure it means a lot to him and his father and those who understand.
It is episodes like this that makes me more proud to be a MB. Cheers you two, with world's of respect.
Chatted up a bartender at a well stocked bar and had my first successful mooch of Whistlepig for me and my father. My wife said I had a swagger in my step the rest of the night!
This makes me believe that whiskey is actually BETTER when mooched and true whiskey snobs should only mooch their whiskey for optimal taste and enjoyment.
I can’t explain to you guys the incredible pride I have for that story and how much it meant for you to share it with the Whiskey Vault World. Cheers to you for creating an amazing TH-cam family!
Question: how do the ghost and rare compare to the new Chinese New Year edition Blue?
Love the show you have helped me in my appreciation of my small 400 bottle collection. Not a snob love my smooching friends. Thank you for creating a whisky family with a wealth of information. I.W. Harper The Original Glenfiddich 63. And Arboulor 16/18 are some of my favorites. Ejiah Craig is the love of my life. Hahahahha
Since we are on the topic of Laphroaig Lore, i specifically remember you making a comment in a previous video that you would do a video for Lore. After tasting it myself recently in all its glory, I am eager to watch that video when you guys do come around to making it. As always, thanks for the videos.
Echoing Aaron D'Angelo, very nice gesture on the toast - good job!
Great job, as always guys.
Cheers from South Africa 🥃
Touch of Class on the toast to the soldiers. Dog treat story - as a 6th grader I had a PE teacher/coach that was over the top. I found a chocolate flavored dog treat at the local pet shop, that was in the shape of a Hershey Kiss. Shared a handful of the tasty treats and watched as he dug in. I can't remember if I ever told him, but it's a memory that has stayed with me wll these years.
Here's to all of our American Service People - currently serving, previously served, and to those that will... CHEERS!
Went from Glenfiddich 12 to Laphroaig 10 when I started venturing past jack and crown. 3 bottle of Laphroaig later i think i found my drink of choice. I'm still branching out and trying more but I still find my way back to that wonderful peat
Excellent video. Next time I'm in Austin I'll have to look you up.
Hello fellas. Just want to say that I’m not a whisky fan of such but I love the show and it is making me try all sorts that I can mooch. Big love x
I have a bottle of Johnie Walker Blue Casks Edition that I got a few years back at a duty free store. It is amazing stuff, I think it's better than normal Johnnie Walker because they left out the duty.
I got a bottle while on a cruise few years back and almost done with it. Need another cruise to get another.
Haha doody
Hey, Rex, with regards to LaCroix, you were actually right in the initial way you pronounced it. The company states it rhymes with enjoy, so Lah-Croy. The real question, though, is which flavor pairs best with pepperoni? lol
I had to re-watch part of the video to make sure I wasn't just seeing things when the crown appeared on Daniel's head.
I’m with Jessica Baker, recently started enjoying whisky. I’ve had Monkey Shoulder (at your recommendation), Glenlivit 12, Hibiki, Jim Beam, Jameson’s, and some Bushmills. So far I’ve been having a heck of a time trying to pin point tasting notes and individual scents but, a few days ago, while drinking Bushmills, I finally was able to pick out a specific smell. I found that nosing the whiskey at different distances from my nose let me experience the smell differently. I was able to smell caramel and a slight hint of banana. Then tasting it reminded me of Bananas Foster. It was a fun experience. I’m excited to continue this journey.
Geoffrey Price Just starting my whiskey journey as well, and picked up a bottle of Monkey Shoulder around Christmas. I have enjoyed it and I'm almost finished, so the last couple trips to the liquor store I have browsed the scotch whiskeys and I'm trying to decide what will be next.
I've just started too and I was wondering what to get first. My friend recommended his favourite whisky and I got some without doing my homework. The whisky is Lagavulin 16...
I pretty soon did some reading and went to the store again and got some Glenlivet 15 haha!
These reviews are pure gold!!!! CANT STOP WATCHING🤣🤣I dont like Johnnie Walker tho, too smoky for my taste BUT NOW that Im more into whiskys nowadays, I just might buy a bottle of Johnnie someday and give it another chance.
I finally tried Caol Ila. It has a great nose and was smooth but as an ex-smoker, the after taste was like an ashtray. Any recommendations for something similar but a different finish?
I finally got a bottle of octomore! Edition 6.1, 167 ppm. Been looking for a bottle of (any) octomore for almost 9 months and finally found it. My Octomore baby has been born! Can't wait to try it later tonight!
I just found out that the bar i go to has Talisker 10yr on the shelve, now i love it even more to go there.
Hello guys, just started watching and already enjoy the channel. It's always great to see fellow Austinites. After hearing the "tip" for the cigar mouth, it reminded me of something I came across. After my cigar, and Rebecca Creek for the night, I always drink something with unrefined sugar. This cleans out my fast buds and prevent the "litter box mouth" the next day. I usually drink a "mexican" coke or the real sugar Pepsi. Give it a try, it has always worked for me and as always keep up the great vids.
good tip!
As always great episode! I recently went through the worst cold ever. My tastebuds and smell were completely gone. I ate a really strong chili con carne without really feeling the chili. A couple of days later I decided to kill all bacterias possible with what I had at my disposal: a 375 ml Jameson. I drank the whole bottle like it was water with a faint smell of acetone. I got shit faced but now, 4 days later I feel much, much better. The end. PS did you ever get to try the Sinatra JD?
trying brora 30 anytime soon? interested to see how your tasting notes compared to ralfys
Wanted to start off by thanking you guys again for what you do and to Rex, more Daniel-victimizing please on Whiskey Biscuits!! I've always been a bourbon lover and never had found a Scotch that I just enjoyed drinking...the closest I've come is a Johnny Walker Blue Year of the Monkey which was a gift from my wife and I enjoy having that on special occasions (being a gift and what not). However, on Christmas I got my brother-in-law a bottle of Highland Park Vikings Honour 12 yr (he is a Scotch lover and is a 6'4" blonde Viking himself) and had a glass with him....was blown away with how much I enjoyed the flavors and how easy it went down....first scotch I've come across that I just truly enjoyed drinking as much as a good bourbon. Any recommendations from a different Scotch region along those lines?
I've recently started watching you guys, and subscribed in minute 1 of the first video! Much love from Argentina! You guys rock! Please review Caol Ila (of you haven't already) one of my favorite authors, Haruki Murakami, it's said to love that particular brand of whisky. Thank much
Can you do lauders?? I really love it, I want to see your both opinions although it's a cheap one
Cheers, Daniel and Rex! I just got turned on to your channels recently and I'm loving you guys :) thanks for the quality content. Cheers from wacko Waco :)
Great videos Guys, I haven't tried this one yet but just finished all the Johnnie Walkers up to the XR-21. Would be great to see your opinions on that expression. Massive respect to the fallen brothers Toast! Slainte
Damnit Jason, we miss you brother!!!!!
Any chance you can review Stolen's Whiskey? We can't get it here in Australia yet, and id love to know what you guys think of it before I fly to America just to pick up a bottle.
Love this show. You guys are doing awesome
I love that they tried caol ila and bottle downed it first. I absolutely love caol ila and my family are actually from lossiemouth not far from elgin
YES! OMG, I have been wanting to try this!
Good day gents. I have a question for you and was wondering if it's something I'm just imagining or it's an actual thing. I travel for a living and often visit hotel bars. As usual, this particular bar had the usual whiskey selections. Long day on the road so I just wanted a friendly usual. So ordered some Jameson. It was sitting on one of those lit up, stacked stands that display alcohol. I figured they were made with LEDs but this stand must not of been, as it really made the Jameson warm.... which really changed the taste. Once it sat a bit it cooled down to normal room temperatures and started tasting like normal Jameson. So the question is can warmth magnify certain flavors or was this all in my head? Anyways, best regards. Thanks for everything you do.
I ran out of sweets (candy) one Halloween so mixed in dog biscuits and stock cubes when I was giving the last few kids who called to the door. The thoughts of the raised eyebrows when they emptied out their sacks kept me smiling for the week.
Gary Madden I handed out candy at my Grandmothers house one year as a kid. All of the old kids that should have not been trick or treating out of costume got my pizza crust.
You should be arrested.
Somebody STOP me!!!
Looks like a new colour for the artistic palette of the master mooch painter hehe
I had the same experience, Dahlwhinnie was my first and it was ... nice. Then later I had Laphroag 10 and was in love. Even now I have Oban Little Bay, Oban 14, and Dalmore 12 in the cabinet, but I keep getting pulled back to Laphroig Quarter Cask. Lagavulin 16 too, although that I've only ever mooched. Doesn't fit in my budget most months. The smoke just "makes it" for me. I can really enjoy the unpeated stuff, but always feel a little something missing.
Hate to admit it but I tried the Milk Bone. It worked. Chewed it up, swished it around and spit it out.
Just want to mention that Cambus is also closed. So Diageo included both a ghost malt and a ghost grain to the blend
So I just started drinking whiskey after a dry spell of 20+- years and wanted to attempt drinking for taste as apposed to my youthful drinking days.
I purchased Crown Royal RO and Reserved and shortly after Johnny Walker Blue lable(my first). All of this with never seeing or hearing of whiskey tasting.
I then found your video(s) and have since purchased Johnny Walker black, double black, and green. Dalmore 12, 15, Alexander III (x2).
I enjoy both, Johnny Walker diversity and the spicy long finish of Dalmore. I am looking for a single malt with sweet, mild spice, with a long finish at reasonable price/availability for a none topically everyday drink.
Any suggestions??
PS. Love the show, big help, and fact filled. Keep it up.
I have 2 questions.
I see a lot of half emptied bottles on the shelves. Will you guys finish the whisky or just keep it for a long time ? If so, how long can it really last?
I see a number of whisky makers distills whiskies like 25 years old or more, do you know how long can the oak cask last ? Won't the casks gets very soft, delicate and squishy like a sponge after storing for so many years ? Thanks!
You mention getting the taste of biscuit notes that are normally found in Irish whiskey. Are there any blends that combine whiskies from different countries?
Only High West, that I know of.
What a great toast, classy as hell guys
Love the vids. Rex, Your pronunciation of La Croix is actually correct. It’s “la-croy” like the river.
That toast gave me chills...
Hey my girlfriend and I were watching you the other day and she exclaimed, I don't like the one on the left he always cuts in like he knows more. I explained to her that Daniel Is actually a sommelier and does know a lot and that rex is a pretty face to bring In more viewers. She laughed and we continued watching.
I enjoy watching your videos while trying to identify the bottles in the background.
You should sell tshirts with some of your 1-liners.... 5:46 "dip a toe into the smokey bits" Or from another episode "Sit on yer whiskey"
I had a glass of double black JW at a whiskey bar in Japan a year ago, it was ok had a very smokey taste. They didn't have any prices listed and i nearly ordered the JW Gold… while enjoying my $15 shot glass of double black i googled the price of gold and nearly fell off the bar stool.
I didn’t like the monkey shoulder all that much either! I really enjoy whiskeys that are aged in sherry casks! Any recommendations? Also I’d love to see your opinions on the Johnnie Walker Wine cask blend!
Interesting bottle. I have started my whisk[e]y adventure with laga vulin 16 laphroaig 10 and oban 14. I have experienced Superior American bourbon and whiskey..... just stirring shit. But do enjoy cognac and armanac. My heart is for Port and Maderia though. Liking the Oban 14 as my favourite scotch so far.
Sir,How many blends are used for blue label?
I have a question vaguely related to Johnnie Walker, I notice that a lot of whiskies including Johnnie Walker Rye Cask, Bulleit Rye, Jack Daniels Rye, and several others use the color green in their packaging. Is there some reason for this trend or is it just collective marketing pushing the idea that green = rye?
These are worth about 500 CAD. Would you recommend this as a collection over a Yamazaki 12?
Daniel, I'm trying to expand my cigar knowledge and experience more varieties. What some of your favorite cigars and which ones are mainstays in your humidor.
Right now, Anything in the Hemingway series by Arturo Fuente. Brickhouse. Or Flor de las Antillas
Daniel one up on Rex time stamp 3.26 ( nice touch of King Crown )
hey guys if you have it could you review some Buchanan? the more expensive bottle (I think its 18) is about $65 at the local Hispanic grocery stores and closer to $90 at the rest of the stores . just wondering how it compares to other whiskeys in the same price range
The last man living pact described in the episode is called a tontine. Tribe members my age might remember a M.A.S.H. episode that concerned a tontine involving Colonial Potter.
Pro tip, when smoking a cigar, pair it with a whisk(e)y of your preference, and also with an unflavored sparkling water, every now and again have a sip of the water and it will help avoid that post cigar problem while also helping your palette throughout the smoke and with the whisk(e)y. It sounds a bit wonky but believe me it’s an experience! Also my own personal preference but have started recommending the habit to my friends who smoke cigars and they all mention how crazy it is but also that it works! Makes the cigar and whisk(e)y all the more enjoyable with good company.
One question to stack on Rex’s first question... When a distillery reopens, one would assume that the original yeast strain is lost. Assuming that the original still is still in the distillery and the mash bill and process stay the same, how much different will the whiskey taste with a new yeast? Do you know if any of the re-opening distilleries kept the original yeast? With bourbon, where consolidation forced famous brands (which used to be produced in their own distillery, like old crow, etc...) to now be made in shared distilleries (like Jim Beam), did Beam keep the old crow distillery’s yeast? Do any of the legacy brands today taste like the original products before distillery consolidation?
The vast majority of Scottish distillers use the same yeast. They put way less emphasis on it than makers of bourbon.
VERY well done - toasting to the fallen brothers!!!
I’ve been enjoying Jonnie Walker Blue label for about 6 years didn’t even know they came out with a new one 😲
I recently received a mini barrel to further age/flavor whiskey. Is there a better way to go about this as far as how long to leave it in the barrel? Thanks!
We respond to this in one of next week's videos! Stay tuned.
A very important lesson I learned recently about Blue Label. I had a bottle hidden away in my closet for many years that I had completely forgotten about. Unfortunately there was only about 2 ounces left in the bottle and had stayed that way for a while. I recently found it while cleaning out some old coats and decided to finally put it out of it's misery. I only say that because of how it tasted. All the bright flavors and smells had completely faded. After a sip or two I realized exactly what it tasted like ... Lemon Pledge Furniture Polish. It was nothing but waxy and off lemon. Lesson of the story, don't save that last pour for a special day.
Blue Label. Quite nice tasting but easy to find better for a cheaper price. Suitable for people who like to flash and who probably prefer Red Label and coke.
Loved the review, especially the toast. Daniel is miles off with his price quote. I wish he was correct, but don't we all.
Oh thank goodness I was wondering if you guys were going to do this one. This vid was obviously made before the "Biscuits" vid where you "ruined" it with soda and ice. I was going to buy this for my monthly dram but my finances got all pear shaped, so I'm hoping I can find it later when I'm round again.
Glenury Royal Distillery. The rare whisky from this lost distillery sits at the core of the blend. Alongside Glenury Royal's single malt are malts from Pittyvaich, Glen Elgin, Inchgower, Glenlossie, and Glenkinchie, as well as grains from Cambus and Cameronbridge.
Speaking of previously reopened distilleries and delicious Islays, I just saw that that Bruichladdich is working on the first ever “Islay rye.” Have you guys heard anything about this? I cannot even imagine what this might taste like. Sweet, spicy, smoky???
So interesting to how much they have changed, the inside jokes have changed and how much different editing is now
Ralphie mentioned you this morning. He agreed with the psychiatric community in Austin and said you were strange.
hahahahahahahahaha
I've been drinking Johnnie Walker blue as a go to for years even when I was serving on active duty Army and had to split a bottle every few months lol. Would you guys please do a review on Johnnie Walker the John Walker. I know yall must get a good discount for your channel and I want to add a few bottles to my collection and want to hear from the experts on if its actually worth the investment.
Hey..Im from India and I really want to come there for the course..How to go about it?
How much more smoother could smoother be?
I love this drink I buy one every year to splurge it’s strong but when swallow it’s smooth hard to explain I pay 350
The 46%, of course it's smooth
I cant even begin to guess what whiskey was that @8:19 anyone? any guess?
3:26 All hail The Whisky King!!
Tobad that it isn't the same price for the normal blue and the ghost and rare in Sweden. Here it is double the price as the normal. Witch one should I get in that case? I really liked the normal one but I'm on the fence because of your review. I love your videos BTW
LOVE the guys excitement! But dang, $400 for a scotch!
I’ve been eyeing this on the shelf for months, and I finally bought it! I’m opening it and drinking it with Rex and Daniel. (Just bragging ;)
As we used to say at boot camp as we switched from safe to fire "For the Fallen".
A quick search for the Ghost and Rare online has it at about $400, not $200. As you say though, local prices vary quite a lot.
1:31 My heart...
Well after a few months of spirit searching (see what I did there?) I have narrowed down my favorite of the smoky scotch, to either the Uigeadail or the Coal Ila which I love both equally for different reason and after exploring the smokiest of the smokiest (Octomore) I have decided still that those two will be perpetually mine :) favorite bourbons are 1792 small batch and four roses single barrel, now I need a favorite Irish
That's the beauty of whiskey. It doesn't get jealous when you try other whiskies.
Jameson distillery reserve is my all time favourite Irish whiskey,but only available at the distillery. I have taken the tour and bought me and my dad a bottle each,so worth it.
AMPed on WildSpark! Get some and pay these Dudes!
This was THE funniest one Yet....THANKS
Are you guys coordinating with Ralfy now?? :-) He reviewed a Brora today. Brora 30 year old if memory serves.
Last thanksgiving was the first time I bought a bottle over 35, tried the Glenfiddich 12 and I've fallen down a heavily peated rabbit whole....
Daniels laugh gives me life
Daniel great save Sir.
I, too, just recently picked up my first Islay single malt in the Laphroaig Triple Wood. I tried it after first going through some nice Irish whiskey the other night: Teeling, knappogue, green spot (a previous favorite before delving deeper into whiskey/scotch recently)... after which, opening the Laphroaig smelled like an angry medicine cabinet left in a sunken ship in the Atlantic ocean. I was at first skeptical, but upon my first sip my world immediately changed. Needless to say, I went online to order another Laphroaig (Quarter Cask), an Ardbeg cask strength and a bunnahabhain 12. I feel bad for my soon-to-be-neglected, yet beloved Irish whiskey collection.
P.S. I also picked up a bottle of Powers gold label based on Daniel's recommendations. For the price, it's far better and more interesting than a Jameson's or Tullamore, but that said, at the current price I can have a Teeling small batch for a few $ more, and that's just not a fair fight for Powers in my humble opinion.
Teeling small batch is the only interesting irish whiskey I've had. When you get into redbreast/greenspot prices, just pick up a scotch.
Yeah, I'll be honest... This bottle of Green Spot didn't do it for me. So, for Green Spot I have to agree that a $45 scotch would be the way to go. That said, I actually still really like Redbreast and see that as my go-to Irish single pot still going forward. It's more complex and meaty than green spot, but still friendly and makes me think of an Irish countryside cottage... or something like that *shrugs*.
P.S. Teeling is great! I've tried their 3 main iterations and I really like them all in their own way. For $30 though, the small batch is definitely the best bang-for-your-buck Irish IMO.
I'm excited to try the rest of the Teeling line up. In my state both Redbreast 12 and Greenspot go for $65. I can get a number of quality scotches for that. I'd happily pay $45 for Redbreast though.
Damn, yeah that would make a difference.... I just picked up a red breast 12 cask strength for $55 and am not minding it one bit. I figured California would have some the worst taxes.... weird.
3:26 lmao!
Daniel - the tasting book you make that has the tasting graph, how do you create the book? Do you have a stamp you use or do you have to make a bazillion copies of the page and bind them into a book? Anyway, I am looking for a good book with a tasting graph to document my whiskey journeys. Can you scan a blank page you have in the book and share?
On the Whiskey Smiths website you can buy the book for $5 here whiskysmiths.com/shop/deductive-whiskey-tasting-booklet
I created on myself with stamps, but it's a pain the ass. The WhiskeySmiths created a beautiful one, and we recommend theirs. We're working on ideas for our new ones.
Apparently Brora and Port Ellen reopens in 2020 ... 2 years to go 😊
THE WHISKY COUCH but there will be no whisky released until 2035 probably
A long time to wait ...
hell yes!
Well that's a shame, now.
Hi guys im yr fan from singapore can u try johnnie walker xr21 review i heard its tasty
Idk what yall are talking about I LOVE monkey shoulder.. best (affordable) blended whisky I have had!
anyone catch the crown on Daniel after rex says hug in a glass lol
Perhaps this is an irrelivant post, though I would like to share an experience I just had. It is 9:42 at night and I thought it was a good time to enjoy a glass of whisky. Available to me was Wild Turkey 101 and Talisker 10, both whiskies I really enjoy (I myself am a bourbon man; though consider Talisker 10 my favourite) I pour a glass of the wild turkey though decide to add a splash of talisker, because why not. What I got was an interesting mix I would gladly have again. Sweet and smokey, smooth but in no way bland. I would like to recommend this mix to you all.
2/3 wild turkey
1/3 Talisker
Glad to see I'm not the only one doing this. I routinely add a dash of smokey scotch to... everything else in my liquor cabinet. It does amazing things most of the time. My personal favorite so far is Port Charlotte and a good reposado tequila.
Xmas Eve cant come fast enough to enjoy the Ghosts of Brora
heya ..just wondering, have you guys had done a review of Sheep Dip Scotch?(i haven't found one in my perusals of your shows so far) i had bought a bottle for my dad for his birthday a few years ago (if memory serves it came in a ceramic looking little brown jug), and i found it to be an extremely flavorful (to me) blend. And haven't seen it on the store shelves here since. i am constantly considering ordering another, but my own research online has told me that ownership has a passed few many hands, and that they have more varieties now, so was looking for another opinion on this particular gem.
thanks
just as a side note, i had a friend in high school, that would eat our dogs milk bones every time he came over...he said they were great (but i just took his word for it, lol)
We did! th-cam.com/video/FOPupNV8Ibc/w-d-xo.html
thanks..
checked it out, and enjoyed the heck outa it,as per usual :-) .
as an update,
i looked into ordering a bottle at the liquor store (LCBO) and the cashier after 5 minutes of computer perusal, told me it was de-listed (again, i guess it's happened a few times), so it seems i will have to contact the distillery itself (after checking into Canadian regulations first, it'd suck to spend the coin for purchase and shipping just to have it seized by bo-po-po)
p.s. we just had a craft distillery open up here in Guelph a couple years ago (Dixons), across from my work, handily enough, (in same plaza as a craft brewery :-D ) have tried the moonshine (meh...nothing special), the vodka will be next, will let you know what they're "whiskey" is like after they've aged a bit more (mayhaps to send along a sample lol)

just went out and bought this, 350.00 +tax US here in Houston Texas
